  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Campers frequently mention the peacefulness and natural beauty of this location, with starry skies and open fields being highlights. The space is appreciated for its privacy, though some found it less maintained, with overgrown areas and wet conditions in certain seasons. Wildlife sightings, like deer and birds, add to the experience, but it's important to note the presence of bugs and ticks. Overall, it's a basic site without many amenities, ideal for those looking for a simple camping experience close to nature.

    Beautiful dispersed campground, stayed 3 day on Beth's farm. Very clean, easy to follow directions and quite. Love the laid back atmosphere and open country views. Looking forward to my next stay

    This was a decent stay. The directions were very clear, and the drive was marked. There was a large community fire pit, and fire rings for your own fire, but with a field packed solid with plants and weeds, it's hard to feel right about starting a pit in your own spot. There's plenty of space, but everything that isn't close to the house/barn is a bit overgrown and hard to find a good level spot. I must say, though, what a gorgeous view of the night sky. My tent has a screen roof, and I was loving the view of the stars all night. I did stay in my tent the majority of the time to avoid the bugs, and it was hard to find anywhere with a bit of shade. Overall not the worst, but more of just a place to sleep than a well maintained site.
